Yields1 Serving
 2 lbs Ground American lamb
 2 Yellow onions, minced
 56 Garlic, minced
 1 tbsp Pepper
 1 tbsp Salt
 1 Parsley
 1 Mint
 1 Cilantro
 0.25 tsp Cayenne
 0.50 tbsp Chili flakes
Cilantro Mint Chutney
 0.33 cup Pine nuts
 1 cilantro
 0.51 Jalapeno depending on spice prefernce

 0.50 tsp Sugar

1

Prep your marinade by finely chopping up your mint, parsley and cilantro. Mince your garlic and onions.

2

Next, take your ground lamb and mix in your minced onions, minced garlic, pepper, salt, the chopped parsley, mint, cilantro and add cayenne and chili flakes. (you want this mixture pretty dry so it sticks well on the skewers).

3

Marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Start to assemble by placing on your skewers, hugging tightly all around with your hands and pinching the edges where the meat meets the stick, so it stays tight when cooking and doesn’t fall apart.

4

Heat a BBQ grill or skillet and add your skewers on, about 4-6 minutes on each side, until lamb is cooked through.
